1. Courage
Strength is measured in pounds.
Speed is measured in seconds.
Courage...
You can't measure courage.
Bronze
Just a reminder:
At the Olympic Games
You don't have to come in first
To win.
Giant
To be a giant.
This has forever been our passion,
this desire to be a giant.
Not to stand on one's shoulders or have one for a friend,
Though these may be fortunate things,
But to be one.
Giants step over barriers that seem never-ending.
They conquer mountains that appear insurmountable.
Giants rise above fear,
Triumph over pain,
Push themselves and inspire others
To be a Giant,
To do Giant things,
To take Giant steps,
To move the world forward.
Silver
Someone once said,
"You don't win the silver,
You lose the gold."
Obviously...
They never won the silver.
Rhymes
They gather together, thousands and thousands and thousands still more
For sixteen straight days the stadiums roar
They line all the fields, they polish the courts
A rainbow of colors together for sport
They sprint, they jostle, they jump, they shout
They sometimes get hostile but they work it all out
They smile, they laugh, they learn life's lessons
They respect one another regardless of weapons
The big and the small together seem awkward
but amazingly enough they push the world forward
And when it's all over it's as good as it gets
A lifetime of memories with zero regrets
Then they pack up the balls and roll up the mats
Put on their best suits and the finest of hats
They all wave goodbye, they hug and they kiss
And you think, that maybe, just maybe, it could all be like this
Smile
When you smile, I smile, that's the deal.
I'll not walk past you, and not look you in the eyes, and not acknowledge you.
Instead we'll pass each other and say hello.
Not with our words--they're not the same--but with our faces.
I meet you and see there is good in your eyes.
There's passion in your heart and there's a friendly hello in your smile,
And for the first time we can relate and appreciate each other.
That's all it takes.
That's where it starts.
Because I know that you will smile and I will smile
And all the rest is easy.
Adversary
You are my adversary, but you are not my enemy.
For your resistance gives me strength,
Your will gives me courage,
Your spirit ennobles me.
And though I aim to defeat you, should I succeed, I will not humiliate you.
Instead, I will honor you.
For without you, I am a lesser man.
2. Nelson Mandela For seventeen days, they are roommates.
For seventeen days, they are soulmates.
And for twenty-two seconds, they are competitors.
Seventeen days as equals. Twenty-two seconds as adversaries.
What a wonderful world that would be.
That's the hope I see in the Olympic Games.
3. Christopher Reeve
Funny, isn't it
An athlete aspires to be the best
his or her country has to offer
And ends up representing the best
Humanity has to offer.
That's the strength I find in the Olympic games.
4. Andrea Bocelli
If you could have the arms of Hercules; legs as swift as the wind; if you could leap shoulder high above the rim; have the kick of a dolphin; the reflexes of a cat; if you could have all this, you would have the body, you would have the tools. But you will not have greatness until you understand that the strongest muscle is the heart.
5. Andrea Bocelli
if you could defied laws of gravity; have nerves of ice; if you could legs like steel springs, the grace of the swan; if you could have all this, you would have the body, you would have the tools. But you will not have greatness until you understand that the strongest muscle is the heart.
"Many of my favorite Olympic memories were not gold medal situations. They were inspiring moments of humanity that transcended borders, obstacles and languages--and unified people around the world. I feel this campaign conveys that, and I am proud to be a part of it."
Robin Williams
